MPC17529EVEL

Overview

The MPC17529EVEL is a bipolar stepper motor driver manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, formerly Freescale Semiconductor. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.6V and supports load voltages from 2V to 6.8V. The device features a maximum output current of 1.4A and includes four half-bridge outputs. It utilizes a parallel interface and CMOS technology. The component is housed in a 20-VMFP package with a 0.65mm pitch. It functions as an integrated controller and power stage for motion control applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates full control logic and power stages for bipolar stepper motors
• Supports forward, reverse, brake, and tri-stated operating modes
• Features low total RDS(ON) for efficient power management

Applications

• Bipolar stepper motor control systems
• Low voltage motion control circuits
• Integrated motor driver modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status carefully as this component is listed as obsolete or discontinued by major distributors. Confirm if the part number refers to the original Freescale designation or the subsequent NXP Semiconductors branding. Check datasheet revisions to ensure compatibility with current design requirements before procurement attempts.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a dedicated bipolar stepper motor driver with integrated control. Ensure the system voltage aligns with the 2.7V to 5.6V supply range. Consider the 20-VMFP package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the 1.4A current rating meets the motor specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC17529 series of motor drivers. It represents a transition period product often associated with Freescale Semiconductor before its acquisition by NXP. The EVEL suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configurations within the VMFP-20 family.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, direct replacements should be identified through official NXP Semiconductors obsolescence notices or equivalent functional alternatives.
